We’ve been watching MAFS and we want to talk about it. First - gaslighting. One of the grooms (Eliot) has been accused of gaslighting his partner, Lauren. We knew we had to bring in the big guns for this episode so we called friend of the podcast & relationship coach, Megan Luscombe, to find out more about what gaslighting is, how it might present in a relationship, and what to do about it.

Then we discuss men’s desire for female partners who are siiiiiignificantly younger than them, regardless of their own age.

Let’s talk about sex! We had the chance to sit down with certified sex and relationship practitioner and somatic therapist, Georgia Grace, so we asked you for your sex questions.

We talk through: mismatched libidos (or desire discrepancy) in relationships, how to increase desire, what to do when one partner likes gentle sex and the other likes rough sex, getting desire back after pregnancy, pain during sex, and how often is normal.

Yes we KNOW it’s February and everyone has already done their words of the year but it still counts if you do it in February so we’re doing it this week!

Plus you might remember last year Steph told a story about the time she waxed a…sensitive area of Josh’s body. And, guess what? We have an update.
